Musicality • Special Workshop
Thursday, October 24 • 6:45 – 7:30 pm
Sundance Saloon

Ingu will lead a special workshop on Musicality on October 24. Musicality is about listening with intention to the music you're dancing to, and adjusting your style of dance and your dance moves to what you are hearing. Incorporating musicality into your dancing could completely transform how you dance, taking it to another level.

There are no prerequisites for this workshop, but you will get more out of it if you are fluent with two-step and waltz. While music terminology will be used during the workshop, you do not need any advance knowledge of music theory.

We'll have our usual mix of two-step and line dance lessons downstairs during this time.
